Weaponry of Blade

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Unencylopedic. The character is notable, but his weaponry is not. --GentlemanGhost (talk) 01:44, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete unreferenced and over the WP:OR line, also probably conflicting with WP:NOT. If possible transwiki it to the Marvel Database Project but they might not even want it - it seems more the kind of thing suitable for a fan site. (Emperor (talk) 02:36, 15 October 2008 (UTC))
 * Delete Wikipedia is not a directory. Master&amp;Expert  ( Talk ) 02:59, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Note: That's not to say Wikipedia shouldn't have lists like this, so much as I mean Wikipedia shouldn't have articles dedicated to lists of items that are overly trivial and could be better listed as part of another article. Master&amp;Expert  ( Talk ) 00:40, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge We should probably consider merging the more notable parts of the list into the characters page.  RC-0722 361.0/ 1  04:00, 15 October 2008 (UTC) Delete Scratch that, there already is a section that covers the weapons.  RC-0722  361.0/ 1  03:41, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, the article looks pretty well fleshed out. It looks like a decent sub-article of Blade (comics). And it looks too long to merge into Blade (comics). There are comics, three films, and a TV show to write it from. When speaking of vampires, the methods used by vampire hunters to kill them are worth noting. --Pixelface (talk) 05:22, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * The problem is: how do we know he uses a MAC-10 or USP Match in Blade 2? There is no source for it which would imply someone has watched the film and thinks that this is what those objects are. I am just plucking those out but you could substitute every weapon for the examples because without sources it is original research. Obviously there are other problems (as Master Expert points out it fails WP:NOTDIRECTORY) but that is the glaring one for me - unless there is some massively clunky exposition naming every weapon or there is a book called "Weapons of Blade" this is all based on someone's opinion (it may be correct in most cases but without reliable sources it is just guesswork).

 * Delete unnecessary level of in-universe detail for an encyclopedia. There's already a section in Blade (comics) with a good overview, as there should be. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  13:34, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete over the top in-universe detail. --Cameron Scott (talk) 19:39, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep if there's potential for improvement, otherwise merge relevant material into Blade and redirect. BOZ (talk) 12:42, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
